We are Ascendant Beer Company.
You may have known us by our previous name…PINTS Brewing Company, Old Town Portland’s first brewery since the Liberty Brewery of yesteryear. But you also may have known us by our previous mission – to quench the thirst of Portland through flawless execution of classic American styles. Well we’re still about flawless execution, but we’re expanding our mission…
Old Town has a rich history of the blue collar worker and PINTS wanted to pay homage to our roots. But Old Town has gone through a few changes and we are the descendants of those who literally built our city. We are the new generation, giving a sense of graduated character and livelihood to the neighborhood, we are ascending.
What makes our location special? It’s our 3.5bbl brew system and the dynamic team of brewers. We have the freedom and flexibility to experiment with small batches. Our goal is to present to you a series of sturdy and modern core beers. These aren’t your old stand-bys, these are thoughtful executions with sensibly sources ingredients and recipes. The rest is playful, a constant rotation of intriguing and experimental beers. We hope you’ll stop by and see just how far we’ve come.
